Histoire

The Episcopal Seminary was founded by H.E. Mons. Marini in 1567. Over the centuries it hosted seminarians and priests from the Diocese of Alba until the early 2000s when a single Interdiocesan Seminary was created for the entire Province of Cuneo.

Since that time it has been used to host 12 retired priests, it hosts the branches of two city schools, namely the Liceo Classico G. Govone and the IPC Cillario Ferrero, the Diocesan Library, the conference halls used by the Diocese of Alba for own activities and rented to outsiders for meetings and conferences.

Since 2014 a part of the second floor has been used for Religious Hospitality, converting the rooms used in the past by seminarians into welcoming rooms open to all those who need a support point when passing through the city.
 

Restauration et Boissons

On the second floor there is the Refreshment Point where there is a machine for hot drinks with pods, a kettle with some  various herbal teas and bottles of still and sparkling water both at room's temperature and in the fridge.
